How has the Government's Austerity measures has effected the local Community's Across all this once Great land .
After taking inflation and population growth into account, net spending on sport and leisure facilities fell to £7.09 per person in 2022-23 – down 44% from £12.66 when the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government took power. England has lost almost 400 swimming pools since 2010
terms of net highways and transport spending, the sharpest decreases have been in North Yorkshire (-97%), Bath and North East Somerset (-96%) and Lambeth borough (-96%).
Cuts to spending on housing services have occurred in 84% of English council areas since 2010-11, with reductions of more than 50% being made in 49 areas. South Tyneside (-95%), Knowsley (-84%) and Slough (-80%) recorded the largest cuts.
The neediest are the most likely to lose essential support as key services are axed. Levelling up promised a great deal but has had no real impact on low-income parts of the country. As more services disappear, the areas affected fall further behind. This endless cycle of decline must end. The sensible, sustained funding of local authorities has simply got to happen.”

Its charter for the politics of envy by the losers and lazy. |

I know what the thick and envious lefties want . They want to get their grubby hands on the equity in old peoples houses .
They have spent their working lives either doing menial shit paying jobs and/ or sponging benefits.
As soon as their hard working contemporaries start to gain from the money they paid in taxes and what they have saved , these parasites want to grab what they have .

Exactly, they wont get their grubby hands on Rayners or Starmers houses or pensions, they've got lefty lawyers making sure they use all the tax loopholes they want to close down. (but they don't really, it just sounds good and might get them votes if they say it) |

Here is why local councils are short of money. "THE cost of transporting Bradford pupils from their homes to school via taxi costs almost £54,000 a day – and “shows no sign of reducing.”'..and its all over the country  the more money you give local Government the more ways they will come up with to waste it...  |

So it's all to do with taxis and nothing to do with cuts? 🤔 The cost in Bradford has doubled in the past 5 years - I know we have had inflation but taxi fares have not doubled, it is just Councils squandering money yet again. If councils took a more responsible view about taxpayers money they would not need to keep claiming poverty. |

Compare the cuts to local government to the increase in taxi fares. If you honestly think that it's taxi fares that's bankrupting councils, I really don't think there's any point in continuing the conversation. That's just bizarre. |
